Three Realms Order; King Yama Hu Tao
Douluo Continent.
In the Yu Hui Town.
The banquet has ended.
Under Wu Tong's arrangement, most of the people from the Seven Nations who were curious about this world were taken along by Wu Tong's people to learn about relevant information about this world.
Elysia, who had been pestering everyone, also went with the group, claiming that she could be their guide.
As for her true purpose, everyone knows it perfectly well.
Wu Tong just rolled her eyes at her, but didn't stop her.
After most people had left.
Wu Tong was left with only Zhongli, Hu Tao, Venti, Alice daughter, the Traveler, and her accessory Paimon.
As for why it's said that only these people are left?
Hmm... because the remaining people aren't really interested in learning about the New World.
Zhongli and Wu Tong were in the same Dimensional Chat Group. They knew each other very well, and even the retreat plan was Zhongli's idea. He was extremely familiar with Wu Tong's world.
Venti, having already learned about the general situation of this world through the power of the wind, trusted Old Master Zhongli, and coveted Wu Tong's Gourmet Tablecloth (having his eye on this treasure that could produce wine Infinite), so Venti did not leave.
Alice and the Traveler are both Descendants who have traveled to many worlds and are already experienced in observing the world.
From the moment they saw Wu Tong, they had already guessed the general situation of this world (the Realm Lord's character determines the world's situation).
Therefore, in their view, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this world will be Teyvat's escape route, and they will continue to live in this world from now on.
Given that's the case, and considering their personalities, neither of them would do something like trying to find out about the world beforehand.
Because they preferred to understand, explore, and observe everything in this world themselves rather than relying on others' introductions (spoilers), they suppressed their curiosity even though they really wanted to learn about the New World.
As for Klee and Paimon, their main focus is on companionship!
Klee hasn't seen her mother in a long time and wants to stay with her; Paimon, on the other hand, has never left Luminous's side, and this time is no exception.
As for Hu Tao...
Compared to exploring and observing the New World, she seems more obsessed with building a branch of the Wangshu Funeral Parlor?
"Oh dear, Brother Wu Tong, don't you think your town is missing something?"
Hu Tao looked at the antique town in front of her, Perfect World Fusion the classical style full of historical heritage with the sci-fi style full of Soul Guidance Technology.
He walked up to Wu Tong with his hands behind his back, looking at Wu Tong with a regretful expression.
"Something's missing?"
Upon hearing Hu Tao's words, Wu Tong was first taken aback, then as if remembering something, the corner of his eye twitched violently:
"You're not trying to say that I need a Wangshu Funeral Parlor, are you?"
Wow, what a perfect connection, Brother Wu Tong!
Upon hearing this, Hu Tao blinked her peach blossom eyes, which seemed to hold the gentle warmth of spring water, feigning surprise. Then, she shook her head and remarked with a mischievous grin:
"You actually managed to guess what I was thinking?"
"It seems my Wangshu Funeral Parlor is indeed destined to be with you!"
Wu Tong: "..."
Who's on the same wavelength as you?
Everyone who knows you probably knows about your plan to open a branch of Wangshu Funeral Parlor.
Moreover, there's really no need to have any connection with the Wangshu Funeral Parlor!
Because I will not die!
"How about this, considering our connection, if you let me build a branch of the Wangshu Funeral Parlor in this small town, I'll give you a 50% discount on the funeral arrangements for your forces!"
Hu Tao, oblivious to Wu Tong's expression, remained lost in her own world, patted her flat chest, and spoke with her head held high:
"So, are you tempted? Don't just think about it, take action! Just nod your head and you can take it home at a 50% discount!"
"Besides..."
"Hall Master Hu!"
Seeing that Hu Tao seemed inclined to continue rambling on, Wu Tong quickly stopped her from speaking:
"Although I was afraid of hurting your feelings and didn't really want to say it, you don't know this, but in my Minecraft, the business of the Wangshu Funeral Parlor' is actually not that needed..."
"Um?"
Hu Tao's curiosity was piqued by Wu Tong's words, so she quickly moved closer to Wu Tong and asked with great interest:
Why do you say that?
After asking the question, as if remembering something, Hu Tao spoke with a serious expression, offering her advice:
"Brother Wu Tong, you should know that birth, aging, sickness and death are the natural course of life. Everyone will die eventually, so there's no need to shy away from death!"
"Master, Wu Tong's world doesn't really need the Wangshu Funeral Parlor."
Hearing this, Zhongli finally couldn't hold back any longer. He quickly pulled Hu Tao back, took over Wu Tong's work, and explained to Hu Tao:
"Because of Wu Tong, the World Master, the world's level will continue to rise. As the world's level rises, the world's environment will also evolve, which in turn will cause the creatures within the world to evolve as well."
"And the evolution of living beings represents the advancement of strength, potential, combat power, vitality, and so on."
"Once even the slightest evolution occurs, the level of life will be elevated, and lifespan will increase accordingly."
At this point, Zhongli paused, then looked at Hu Tao, a strange smile playing on his lips:
"This means that as time goes by, the number of human lives in this world will increase until they eventually become Longevity Species."
"As for how long the lifespan of Longevity Species is, even if I don't say, you should have a general idea, right, Hall Master?"
"So, the Wangshu Funeral Parlor really can't continue operating in this world..."
Upon hearing Zhongli's explanation, Wu Tong nodded in deep agreement.
Just as Zhongli said, as the world evolves, the life within it will also evolve, and the lifespan will increase, until finally evolving into Longevity Species.
Therefore, organizations like the Wangshu Funeral Parlor are truly unnecessary to exist in this world.
However, although the Wangshu Funeral Parlor is unnecessary, Wu Tong felt that with Hu Tao's maintenance of the Order of life and death and her understanding of the concept of life and death, she was quite suitable to be the future King Yama of the Douluo World.
With the Heavenly Realm (Little God Realm) and the Human Realm (Douluo World) already established in the Douluo World, an Underworld would naturally be needed to complete the Three Realms Order.
However, Wu Tong has not yet found a suitable small world to Underworld, so the grand plan of the Three Realms Order can only be temporarily shelved.
However, although it was shelved, the plan was not abandoned.
The Three Realms Order plan is indeed part of Wu Tong's future development plan for Douluo, and it is a plan that must be achieved in the future.
After all, only with the Underworld can the Douluo World truly achieve self-sufficiency in human resources (Resurrection), instead of constantly relying on Wu Tong's Resurrection Coin to Resurrection the dead.
Although Wu Tong didn't care about those Resurrection Coin, it was still a bit of a waste all along...
Therefore, instead of using consumables to Resurrection living beings, it would be better to directly use the Rule life and death to Resurrection.
This means that once a suitable small world to Underworld is found, Wu Tong will transform it into the Underworld, thus completing the Douluo Three Realms, achieving the Three Realms Order, and forming a complete world encompassing heaven, earth, and humanity...
When that time comes, Hu Tao will be able to take office and rise to become the top leader of the Underworld in one fell swoop.
He became the Yanluo Heavenly King, second only to Wu Tong in authority, controlling the Order life and death and regulating the balance of Yin and Yang.
Wu Tong had even thought of a name for her future position: Yama King Hu Tao!
... Back to the topic...
Click...
Unaware that Wu Tong had already made arrangements for her future, Hu Tao was completely petrified upon hearing Zhongli's explanation, freezing in place.
At the same time, the phrase "The people of this world will all be Longevity Species" kept playing on repeat in my mind.
He became listless and powerless, as if he had lost all his spirit.
(Hu Tao: Σ(д|||)
Hu Tao: It's over! I never thought that Wangshu Funeral Parlor's century-old foundation would be destroyed in my hands in the end.
Hu Tao: Waaaaah...)
"Longevity Species, Longevity Species..."
Seeing Hu Tao looking like he'd suffered a huge blow, constantly muttering the words "Longevity Species," not only Wu Tong, but everyone else couldn't help but twitch at the corner of their mouths.
Is this really necessary?
"Oh my... it seems Little Hu Tao has suffered quite a blow!"
Alice looked at the distraught Hu Tao and remarked with a surprised tone.
To be honest, she had never seen the lively and cheerful Hu Tao in such a dazed state before; this was the first time she had ever seen Hu Tao like this.
This is really, really...
Marvelous!!!
This is exactly what I want to see!
It was definitely worth the ticket price!
Alice, suddenly seized by a sense of amusement, looked at the hunched-over Hu Tao and thought with delight.
Meanwhile, Little Klee, who was playing with Paimon nearby, also noticed what was happening.
Seeing the dejected Hu Tao, a look of confusion immediately appeared on Klee's Little Sun- like face:
"Huh? What's wrong, Sister Hu Tao? Are you unhappy?"
Klee has a very good impression of this older sister who doesn't actually have Dodo-King.
(Klee: Hu Tao is a saint!)
In addition, both of them are fire-attribute characters, and they are both very lively, cheerful, and quirky, so Hu Tao and Klee have a very good relationship.
Seeing her best friend, Hu Tao, looking so lost and dejected, Klee was naturally very worried.
So Klee quickly ran to Hu Tao's side and comforted the Hu Tao who was withdrawn:
"Sister Hu Tao, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
"Mom said that if I'm unhappy, I should blow something up. As long as I see the explosion, I'll feel happy again..."
Everyone: (¬_¬)——> Alice: Hehe ヾ(^▽^*))).
A philosopher once said: The sun is great because it can even illuminate dust, and so is Klee's concern!
(One day he said: Achoo...)
One day, Dao (rubbing his nose) (puzzled): Who's talking about me behind my back?
So, with the comfort of Klee, her Little Sun, Hu Tao quickly recovered from her disappointment.
Even after recovering, she wasn't in a good mood and still looked somewhat dejected.
However, no one paid much attention to this. After all, with Hu Tao's strong mentality, she should be able to adjust herself quickly. There was no need for them to meddle!
"So... what are you planning to do next?"
After dealing with Hu Tao, Wu Tong turned to look at the remaining people and rubbed his temples with a headache.
I originally thought that I would just need to entertain them, and after that, I could find someone to take them away and let them explore the world on their own, and then I could relax.
But unexpectedly, a few were left in the end...
There's no ignoring it now.
Ugh, my head hurts!
Alice pondered for a moment, glanced at Klee, and then asked with a smile, "Emmm... are there any fun places in this world? I'd like to go out and have some fun with Klee."
Wu Tong pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "Fun places? Although I'd like to say I know, I don't quite understand what you mean by 'fun places.' Could you be more specific?"
Although Wu Tong does know a lot of fun places.
However, as everyone knows, Alice has a very eccentric thought process.
Therefore, Wu Tong didn't know whether her so-called "fun places" meant the same thing as the fun places she knew.
After all, this is a super dangerous Teyvat individual who turned the Wind Dragon Ruins into Stormterror's Lair, advocated for the establishment of Hilichurl sweatshops, proposed experiments for Hilichurl to fly to Celestia, and wanted to build the Teyvat Idol Group, among other outlandish suggestions.
Wu Tong simply couldn't keep up with her incredible imagination, nor could he understand it.
Alice, however, acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "What kind of place would you play with Klee? Of course, it's a place where Klee can unleash bombs to her heart's content!"
"Of course, the location doesn't need to be too nice, just find us an empty space where there are no people!"
Really!
I knew the "fun places" you mentioned were definitely different from what I knew about places.
Wu Tong silently cursed in his heart, then refused without hesitation, saying, "No!"
Don't ask. The answer is no. Even if it were true, asking would still result in no answer!
"..."
Alice, of course, didn't believe Wu Tong's perfunctory answer. How could such a vast world not have a single deserted space? Wasn't he just trying to fool her like a fool?
However, after being rejected, she could roughly guess why Wu Tong had rejected her.
It's simply that after learning about her "great achievements" in Teyvat, they're afraid she'll do the same thing in this world.
